Location is perfect, just few steps from the entrance to the National Park. Or you can go through a private passage to the public beach with restaurants.
During the rain we got water flowing from the ceiling, so they have asked us to move to another room, lower class, without any apologies or compensation. It was rude.

The location was truly amazing. You are basically inside Manuel Antonio Park. The staff were the nicest most helpful people. they were on top of our every need. It was quite wonderful to have that kind of consistent and upbeat customer service with every experience and interaction with the staff. The rooms were very nice. The pool was beautiful. The food tasted truly amazing. And it was a nice quick short walk to the beach. Very close to shops and restaurants.
There were two things that really stood out. 1. The first thing doesn't have much to do with the hotel itself but it's still a factor; Getting to the hotel was difficult because of the proximity to the park. If you're driving you have to drive through an absolute mess of people, very narrow roads and traffic. It is quite hair-raising. It was further frustrating to have to repeat this every single time coming and going from the hotel. 2. The hot water seems to be very limited. I think it's because of solar. Seem like on sunny days we had more than enough. But on rainy days or at night there was very little hot water. Also, there was a lot of noise during the day from construction. This really shouldn't affect most people though and is probably temporary.

if you came by car then it’s really cool, you have a free parking place by the Manuel Antonio park and an east access to the park, which is really good! they change your 4000-5000 colones for parking before entering the park which is very expensive. I would usual price for parking is 2000 colones. breakfast is good but not too many options. for example no vegetables and only few fruits. though a vegetarian would be able to find smth. this is probably one of the few hotels we stayed in that didn’t have some sort of bugs, ants or other creatures in the room. cleaning stuff did a good job cleaning the rooms. hotel has free beach/pool towels. really cool because your own towel would just not dry overnight. because hotel is so close to the National park you get to see iguanas, monkeys and birds just from your balcony. however, hotel offers a guided tour to the park, which costs ~50$ (only cash), which I would recommend too.
the rooms on the ground floor are loud! on the other hand we stayed also on the 4th floor and it was much better. nothing would dry in the hotel and it’s not the problems of this hotel but in general any hotel very close to the ocean. beach is close but not as close as you wish it to be. also the road to the beach is a bit strange. I would say public beach is okay but the beach in the park is so much better, you just need to pay an abtrabte fee.

great rooms, amazing location - it's practically inside the park and practically on the beach. great food at the restaurant.
the music at the pool is unbelievably loud. the muzak at the restaurant is also loud and off-putting. there's something strange about having signs about not feeding the wildlife (which is great) but then blaring super loud music more or less directly into the national park. it could be that the music is actually trying to keep the animals away from the pool area? but it seemed like there was an amazing place to look into the park and see wildlife but i knew that there was little chance of seeing them with the speakers blasting bruno mars at the pool.

It’s location to the park and the beach
the hotel advertised a gymnasium (this is essential) but on arrival it was under maintenance and not useable, the gymnasium being out of order was not advertised on the booking website . other than that this hotel is a great option, its old but has appeal, the scenery is fantastic, the jungle, the birds, all magnificent and viewable from the 6th floor or ground. Rooms are excellent, breakfast has no labels on food so you don’t know what a lot of things are.

The Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio is one of the most important tourist attractions of Costa Rica, and the San Bada unquestionably enjoys the best location for those wishing to explore it: the entrance to the hotel is virtually next door to the main entrance to the park, and guests at the hotel can watch birds and other animals from the comfort of their bedrooms or their sun loungers by the swimming pool. The bedrooms are quite big, and most provide views of the tropical forest or of the ocean. There are two swimming pools in total, as well as a spa, and the hotel will gladly help you organise any other activities.
The breakfast buffet is served in a relatively small room, compared to the size of the hotel: this means there can sometimes be queues to have breakfast and that guests have to scramble for space. Other than that, everything was fine!

The staff was excellent 👌. Ready to help in everything. Respectful, friendly, it felt like family. Something that was bad timing was the broken elevator. The staff had it extra hard. They had to go up and down the stairs with heavy luggages. Never once did they look upset..alway with a smile, and they were doing all of that in super humid weather. Thank you so much, San Bada staff!!!❤️
I would have liked the buffet food to be covered so that bees and flys can not go on it.

We enjoyed the pool, the location and the room was cool and large. Breakfast was good, especially the pastries. Staff were really helpful. Beach is stunning! We saw monkeys and other wildlife from the hotel grounds as it is next to the rainforest national park. The hotel provide pool/beach towels which was very convenient. Watching the sunset from the top floor with a cocktail was a lovely experience.
The dinner wasn’t great - there are better cheaper places nearby. Other than that, we liked everything!

Very comfortable room and hotel. Loved watching the monkeys and iguanas from our room and the fabulous top floor where we enjoyed sushi and cocktails with our sunsets to birdsong from toucans. Beds v comfortable and AC very good. Amazing location bang next to the national park.
The pool wasn’t that appealing, breakfast was a bit hit n miss but sufficient.

This is the 2nd time I have stayed here, and it’s absolutely fantastic. It’s literally right next to the entrance of Manual Antonio National Park, which is fantastic. It’s easy getting to and from the hotel via car even with people coming to the park. The food at the breakfast buffet is really good as always, and the staff is overall really awesome. Super nice people. I think a thing to note is the local area around San Bada is a little disconnected from the heart of Manuel Antonio, but it doesn’t matter. There’s plants to do around here. There are some really good restaurants/bars at the foot of the hill and a little bodega as well where you can load on up supplies (beer, sunscreen, whatever). Try to stay on the 5th floor so you can get an ocean view. You can see the ocean and hear the waves. You will not have an ocean view otherwise. The rooms are nice, and the beds are super comfy. There are a few ways to get to the beach from here. 1. You can enter Manuel Antonio National Park and go to the beaches within there. They are gorgeous and worth the money. We saw a sloth about 6-feet above us, sleeping in a tree, when we entered Playa Espadilla Sur. Note, Playa Gemelas is a little rough even during low tide. 2. There is a beach path which you can access through a tunnel on the hotel grounds. 3. You can walk out of the hotel grounds onto the road, make a left, and make a left down the alley. This actually ends up in a meeting spot in the place as if you took path #2 above. No difference. It’s totally safe, and there’s a really good little restaurant there called El Chante del Parque. It’s hidden! 4. You can walk down the road to get to the beach. It’s safe, no doubt. There’s numerous little eateries/sodas along the walk. Long story short, San Bada is a great hotel in a good location. I hope this helps!
